Wed. 9/5/07 ~ Disney-MGM Studios


Our destination for today is the Disney-MGM Studios. As soon as we arrived we headed over to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Bill was excited and I was a little nervous (me being a wimp and all) but it was a fun ride and not nearly as bad as I had expected. You are in an elevator car that takes you up to the top of the old hotel then opens the door and you drop 13 stories. It is kind of a bungee cord effect in that you drop then come back up and drop again a couple of times. For lunch we went to the Sci-Fi Dinner Theater that is set up like a drive in movie. All of the booths look like old time cars from the 1950s and there is a movie screen showing old science fiction movies. We were able to go on pretty much all of the rides and shows and finished up in time to go to the 50s Prime Time CafĂ© for dinner. It is made to look like a home from the 1950s with the waiting area like a living room complete with old televisions. The eating area is like sitting in Mom’s kitchen with vinyl chairs and formica tables. The servers are like your mom telling you to keep your elbows off the table, don’t talk with food in your mouth, and eat all your vegetables or you won’t get dessert. We got back home about 9:30 and relaxed for the rest of the evening.
